[Histonet] Parafolicular cells, "C" cells

[Troutman, Kenneth A]

Hi Lin,

I am not aware of a special stain that is that specific for C-cells, but a calcitonin immunostain is pretty specific.

Good luck

Do you know a good specific special stain (not IHC stain) for this cells
of the thyroid gland?
